Kind of worrying about not hearing back from this school, I really like the area and I think I have ok enough stats? Didn't submit my secondary until late August though
 
Is it just me or is this school interviewing everyone? Did anyone not get an interview here that was complete early on?

That's honestly never a good assumption to make in a process like this and makes you sound arrogant. You have to remember there are thousands of applicants hoping to hear something. I completed my app early on and have not heard back.

Does SHSU send out prematch emails starting the 15th for those who are in-state?

Texas schools are not prematch heavy on the first day. You are lucky if you get one but assuming from past trends, SHSU does not send out a lot of offers on the first day of pre-match.
 
Did they ever say anything about their timeline? With interviews starting in July I figured they’d be sending As on 10/15

I'm wondering if anyone got a prematch today?
Last year, I think their first batch of A's came out on Nov 16

I had my interview today and they said that they did begin sending out offers today but she made it seem like it will be on a very rolling basis so I think there’s a decent amount left to be sent out over time based on how it was framed

Sweet thanks so much for the info, and also, congrats!!
 
I know this is super random, but has this school commented on adjusting tuition/ and or offering more scholarships to students? For future classes perhaps

Their tuition is closer to an average Med school tuition because they were not able to get approved for TX state subsidy. I don’t think it will change much.

According to last years thread, I think some of the first interviewees weren’t notified until Nov 16/17 so maybe we can expect that this year as well
